The huge achievements of people from the region with additional support needs have been celebrated.
Almost a hundred people gathered at The Usual Place cafe in Dumfries recently to support the SVQ graduation ceremony – compered by Lee Medd – which has been held up for three years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Seventeen graduates who have all worked and studied in the award-winning Usual Place took to the stage to receive their certificates achieved during the past three years and presented by Dumfriesshire deputy lord lieutenant, Hardip Atwal, the chief executive of Inspired Community Enterprise Trust, Heather Hall, and chef assessor, Tony Budde, of Dumfries and Galloway College.
